You werent in bear country then. I had a friend who was sitting unarmed in a open outhouse on the Ice while working to set sesimic charges when a polar bear ambled over a pressure ridge. Lucky for him, the designated Eskimo guard was alert and got himself a new set of fur mittens, boots, etc. Only the Eskimos could be armed.

We had bears, both in the Siberian projects and in Kamchatka. There were guns in the camps but I didn't carry one, and certainly not when venturing out to the toilet block at night. I added a photo above of one that entered camp and was shot, they followed the blood trail in the morning and hauled the carcass into camp. The meat fed the camp dogs that raised the alarm.

There are some big ones in Kamchatka, actually I think bigger than the ones in Kodiak. How luxurious, a toilet block. AK47s too I bet.

You ever get up to Inupiat territory? You know in parts of Alaska, you can see Russia from your house?

No he was an old bear, you could see from his teeth, that hadn't eaten enough to hibernate and ventured into camp looking for food.

Too bad you couldnt save the skull, or did you?

In the USA, a bear shot DLP belongs to the state. Did they come get the hide?

Trump slams China, US allies for not jumping at chance to help open the Strait of Hormuz: ‘They should be thanking us’

President Trump slammed China and US allies Monday for demurring on his request to help patrol the Strait of Hormuz and reopen the vital oil trading route.

Trump said he’s asked seven countries to send ships to ensure the narrow shipping lane stays open during the war with Iran. And so far he’s not gotten any takers.

You're the one who claimed Trump was trolling them by asking for help to patrol the strait. It turns out more like he is pleading with them. Boy, did you get that one wrong. Big time.

Yes, he was skinned, the pelt went somewhere, meat and bones to the dogs, claws as key-ring fobs, the skull ended up above the door to one of the core sheds.
